Espen Jorstad raised to 40,000 from the cutoff with Kayhan Mokri calling on the button, and David Coleman defending his big blind.

Jorstad checked when he saw the 3♥ turn, and Mokri threw out a bet of 240,000. Jorstad continued with a call.

The 10♠ completed the board, and Jorstad checked again. Mokri decided on a bet of 680,000, which was enough to get Jorstad to fold instantly.

Espen Jorstad limped in from the small blind and Kayhan Mokri bumped it up to 75,000 from the big blind. Jorstad then three-bet to 265,000, and Mokri called.

On the 9♦3♣2♣ flop, Jorstad put out a continuation-bet of 235,000, which Mokri called to see the 5♥ fall on the river. Without much hesitation, Jorstad shoved for 535,000, which sent Mokri into the tank. After using some extra time, Mokri eventually found a fold.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened under the gun to 45,000 and Steve O'Dwyer shipped his stack of around 220,000 in from the small blind. Lonis called.

Steve O'Dwyer: K♠J♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: A♣Q♣

O'Dwyer was behind, and despite making a pair on the 8♣Q♥J♣ flop, he was still trailing to the bigger pair of Lonis. No paint showed up on the 2♥2♠ runout, which meant O'Dwyer was out.

Ding Falls to Sturm

Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Leon Sturm shoved from the small blind and Biao Ding called off his stack of around 230,000 from the big blind.

Biao Ding: A♦4♣ All in
Leon Sturm: K♣7♥

Ding was in the lead with his ace-high, but needed to catch up after Sturm paired his king on the K♦Q♦6♣ flop. A 7♠ on the turn sealed the deal as Sturm made an unbeatable two pair, which improved to a full house on the K♥ river just for extra measure.
